Thread: Looking for Advice on Boots.

I have the leather lined Lowa Tibets. I dont like Gortex boots because the Gortex packs up in time and the boots leak. Gortex lined boots are also very hard to dry out if they get wet inside.
The lowas are heavy but do give tremendous support whilst still letting the ankle, knee and hip move naturally. Ten steps in Lowas takes me further than twelve in something else. Not meaning that the other boots suggested wont do the same
I used to use a high ankle boot but these stop the natural ankle movement and make the knee and hip move too far to compensate = sore knees and hips, same effect as high gumboots.
For foot problems I would start going Barefoot as much as possible to correct foot position and cycling to build up tendon strength, then buy one of the suggested quality boots esp a leather lined version. Do you use a mustering stick ? makes a huge difference sidehilling
